But anything from a 2.5 to 3.2 will fit. An E36 chassis is an E36 chassis. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 02-19-2004, 07:08 PM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Maryland, USA Posts: 678 | The most common engine swaps are with the 6 cylinder 2.5 and 2.8 liter engines and the 3.0 and 3.2 liter M engines. And yes, I did read a story of one company who put in the 5.6 V12 from the 8 series into a 3 (there goes any semblance of 50/50 weight distribution). __________________ BostonGreen 97' w/ DASC & Technique Stage 1 software M3 front bumper.

I kinda wouldn't mind a TurboDiesel, that would be different. | | | 02-22-2004, 05:07 AM | #8 | Junior Member Join Date: Dec 2003 Posts: 5 | i can just throw a 3.2 M engine into my car??? what about the tranny, can it handle that?? | | | 02-22-2004, 06:18 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | Not for long. If you do the engine you need to do the tranny. Eventually the diff will go too. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 02-27-2004, 11:42 PM | #10 | Moderator Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Bouncing off the rev limiter in CT! Posts: 3,156 | Diff goes in short order. Tranny holds up well, if oil is changed frequently. | | | 02-29-2004, 05:03 AM | #11 | Junior Member Join Date: Feb 2004 Location: New Jersey Posts: 24 | I am in the process right now doing a engine swap. I have a 3.0 eurospec motor s50 from europe. It will have 300hp with the minor upgrades. This is one serious motor. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
